I wouldn't be so sure - the ramps were designed in collaboration with the TTC specifically for their Outlook variant, due to the street-running nature of their system. Eglinton Crosstown's Freedom LFLRV's and ours are intended from the outset to use slightly elevated platforms. It would actually surprise me if the Region did opt to ask Bombardier to equip our trains with the ramps. The ramps won't bridge any gap between platform and train - the gap will be minor (a few centimetres), close enough that any wheeled vehicle can roll over it. Deploying a ramp slightly to cover this minor gap at every stop as you suggest would be a logistics nightmare.
